Developer Merritt Properties has announced plans to build a 452,500-square-foot speculative light industrial business park in Wake Forest, NC.

Located along Ligon Mill Road, the Merritt Capital Business Park will be developed on a 74-acre tract of land and will consist of up to seven buildings ranging from 30,000 to 85,000 square feet. Each will offer 18 to 24-foot clear heights, rear-loaded docks and drive-in capabilities, and free surface parking. Site plans are still being finalized.

Pre-leasing is underway and delivery expected to occur during the second quarter of 2021. Construction will be managed by Merritt Construction Services, the construction division of Merritt Companies. Cushman & Wakefield has been tapped as the leasing partner for Merritt Capital Business Park. The team will be led by Larry Lakins, Hunter Willard and Andrew Young.

Kennemur & Associates Real Estate represented the undisclosed seller in the transaction.
